The ongoing E-examination at the National Open University of Nigeria is being put on hold at the McCarthy Study Centre due to ICT technical difficulties.

The problem started midway into the second day of the commencement of the exercise nationwide.

Director of the centre, Prof. Rotimi Ogidan explained that the reason for the postponement was due to the outdated ICT equipment present at the centre, coupled with the large number of students writing the examination.

The Registrar, National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), Mr. Felix Edoka, has said the 1-day training organized by the university for the non-teaching staff of all the faculties had aimed to sharpen the knowledge of the staffers to the rudiments of office businesses which are quite different to what was learnt in school.

He said it is practically impossible for any staff to give what he/she doesn’t know, hence the need for refresher trainings to keep them abreast of the day-to-day office activities.
